[Elecraft] Sudden K3 failure

[Don Wilhelm]

Mark,

While you may be correct about the TMP connectors, open the K3 and 
rotate the TMP connectors a bit to wipe away any oxidation.

If it continues to fail after that, email support at elecraft.com for 
further ideas on how to proceed.  Tell them what you have attempted so far.

73,
Don W3FPR
